What is a Temperature Controlled Cargo?

Temperature controlled cargo, also known as refrigerated cargo, is a type of shipment that requires a specific temperature range to be maintained during transport. This type of cargo is commonly used for perishable goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Temperature controlled cargo can be transported by air, sea, or land, and requires specialized equipment such as refrigerated trucks, containers, and warehouses to maintain the required temperature range.

It is important for shippers to carefully monitor the temperature of the cargo to ensure that it is maintained within the required range throughout the entire transportation process.
